To a/ZZ whom it may concert-1,'.-

Be it known that I, MAX SCHUPPE, a citizen of the United States, andaresident of IOv.

to provide such a rece tacle with means for feeding the contents othe-same in a direction outward from the receptacle, for feeding.

said contentsfgradually, and lfor feeding said contents intermittently.Another object of my invention is to provide means by which the feedingmechanism of said contents may b'e operated My invention is articularlyadapted for use with machines or blacking or applying paste to articlessuch as boots or'shoes.

Inftheaccompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a plan of one embodin'ient ofmy invention, showing its applpation to a blackingor aste applying mace, only 4such arts-o the machine being shown as to i ustrate thepractical working of the same.. Fig. 2 `,is-a part elevation, artvertical section, the sec' tion being on t e line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3illustrates in plan a vslightly different form of my invelntion fromthat lshown in Figs. 1 and 2. ,Fi 4 is apart elevation, part verticalsection, of the devices shown in Fig; 3, the section ybeing on the line4 4 o f Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a fragmentary "detail elevation of some of theparts shown in Figs. 3 and 4f Similar characters represent like parts inall the figures. 1

forming a stop to the outer movement of said arms 9 and 7 and pawl 8caused by the ten- 'sional action of the spring 19. 21 is a diskextendingacross the open end of the receptaclel 1 and 'secured totheouter end of the screw 3. Said disk is provided with one or more cutters22, extending within the rece tacle y.1, there beingalso openings 23in't e When the screw 3 is turned, the disk 21 will also turn, andthecutters 22 Will scrape or` shave off portions of the paste or othermaterial that ,may be in the'receptacle. 1 adjacent to said cutters,said portions passing lthrough said o enin'gs 23 to `the outside ,of thedisk 21.` Tliie above apparatus will serve not only to force thematerial in a; direction outward from the receptacle 1, but will also,as above stated, force onto the plane surface-that is, .the outside ofthe disk 21-a small quantity oflthepaste, blacking, or other. material,that 2 may be takenv up by any-brush or other device moving incontactwith the outside of said disk. The disk 21 is preferably provided witha'fiange 24, surrounding the outer Wall of the receptacle 1, and whichflange will prevent'- the clogging of the material at the edges of saiddisk. The disk 21 is also provided with a diverging flange 25, thedivergifng feature permitting a 4full sweep of the disk 21-against abrush or'similar device or of lsaid brush or devicein contact with theouter surface of the disk. j

Referrin "now to Figs. 3, 4, and 5, 26 is a crown-ratcet secured tothescrew 3 outside of the head2. 27 is arock-shaft loosely journaled ina bearing 28 above the head 2, secured-to the receptacle 1. 29 is aspring# pawl laterally pivoted to4 the rock-shaft 27 and engaging withthe teeth of ratchet 26. If the shaft 27 turnsinthe direction of thearrow in Fig. 5, the pawl 29 willmove to the left and cause the'ratchet26 to move in the same direction, (shown by the arrow in Fig. 3,) thusturning the screw 3 so that the follower 5 will mve voutward or awayfrom the head 2. VVhen the shaft 27 is turned in the direction oppositeto that shown by the arrow in "'Fig. 5, the pawl 29 will slide overthe'teeth of the ratchet 26 to the right and will -not turn. saidratchet, and conse uently the 'screw 3 will not turn and the fol ower 5will not be moved. 30 is a coil tension-spring surrounding the shaft 27,one end of which is secured to said shaft and the other end to the sco,

bearing 28. Said spring will tend constantly to'turn shaft 27 in thedirection opposite to l that shown by the arrow in Fig. 5, so that whenthe shaft 27 is turned in the direction of said arrow and then releasedthe spring 30 will turn the parts to their former and normal positions.31 is a bracket to which the receptacle 1 is secured and which bracketmay be secured by screws 32 to a machine for applying blacking, paste,or other substance on an article or articles. 33 is a projection or inextending' above the bracket 3 1 and outsi e of the shaft 27 for forminga stop Afor the'rotation or movement of the shaft 27 in the returnvdirection opposite 'to that shown by the arrow in Fig. 5, or'the normalposition of shaft 27. In order to provide-a device somewhat in thenature of a crank, so kthat the shaft 2 7 can be readily turned, I bendsaid arm as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, so that the raising and lowering ofsuch bent portions 34 35 will cause the shaft 27 to turn. Any means maybe employed for raising or lowering said parts 34 35, and conse uentlyturning the shaft 27, and I have simply indicated in Figs..3 and 4 aprojecting part 36, which may be upon anymachine on which my apparatusis to be used; If the projection 36 be moved in the direction of arrows37, or ifi-said projection be stationary and all of the other devicesshown in Figs. 3 'and 4 be moved in the direction opposite to the arrows37, the parts 34 35 Willbe raised by said projection 36 and saidprojection will pass under part 35 and cause shaft27to turn, so as tocause the teeth 29 to rotate the ratchet 26, and thereby move outwardthe follower 5. As soon as projection 36 has passed under the part 35 oras soon as the part 35 has passed over the projection' 36 the spring 30"will draw the'parts back to their normal positions, with the shaft 27or-its part 34 coming in contact with pin or stop 33. 38 representsblackin paste, or similar material, i which is secure to the follower 5in any a propriate manner. This material 38 may Se compressed and in theform of a cake, so that when the follower 5 moves outward it would alsomove outward the cake or pad 38, so that it will be in a position toactupon the brushes or similar devices adjacent to the outer or open end ofthe receptacle 1 or would ,be in a position to have said brushes orother devices act upon said cake or pad.

When the receptacle is round, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the follower 5would be rotated when the screw rotates instead of being fed outward ifit were not for some means to prevent such rotation. In Fig. 2 I have lshown a featherS secured to the inner wall of the box 1, which fits intoa corresponding groove (not shown) in the follower 5. Suc constructionWill cause the follower 5 to move in a direction inward and outward ofthe receptacle by the rotation of the screw 3. This feather 38terminates at a point far enough from the outer end of the receptacle 1so that IOO IOS

when the follower "5 has com@ ill Contact the disk 21 orv the cutters22'saidfollower,lwill have passed beyondsai'd feather', ffand` Y V Y vby `Letters. Patent is4 s 'i therefore there being nothing to preventtheturning of the follower 51 itv will rotate lwith the screw Sand notfeed'any farther, andl said screw has a plane outer end 39, whichvconsequently all danger 'of straining the partsv by afurther feedingmoyement of the follower 5 against the disk 21 ,will be. avoided.

,In` the construction shown in Figs. 3 and 4,-

the receptacle 1 bein angular, suchA construction will prevent t lower 5during the rotation of the screw 3; but in order to keep the follower y5in connection with the screw at the oint wherethe follower should vnolonger e 'fed outward will be in the threaded holein the follower 5after said hole has assed Vbeyond the thread 0f the screw 3 an as longas there is anything beyond the mouth of the receptacle'to prevent the'follower rece tacle. 1 v

T e paste or contents -of the. receptacle 1 may be provided with aretaining device ex-A tending acrossand securedto the, open end of thereceptacle', such as a piece of netting. orA

cross-wire, as shown at 40 in Fi 4.

lIn the case of b oth constructions shown as the paste or other materialinthe receptacle is used up it can be fed forward or tothe open ortionof the receptacle ,1,by means of the ollower 5. If-it be desired to movesaid follower up to or nearer the head 2, this can be done -by rotatingthe ratchet 6 or 26 by hand, `so that the receptacle may `be refilledwith the proper material or for any other purpose.

Myinvention provides an'nnproved receptacle for blacking, paste, orsimilar material and one having very simple means for feed-y 1 ing saidmaterial gradually and intermittently. My inyention also provides meanse rotation of thefoli vreceptacle for moving said follower toward themouth of said rece tacle, and devices fory opera'tin saidv meansmtermittently and automatica ly irrespective ofany movement of thereceptacle.` i e v2.
